Curious if it's in reference only to the machine, or more to the actual airport card. For example, for my Dual G4 MDD (last before G5s), I purchased an airport extreme card three months ago (long after MacPros were getting their cards - ie, the same card). If it's only a wireless update, then it should work with my card. If it's tied to the Intel chipset, however, they should overtly state that.

Based on what I've read, you are incorrect. All of the add-on Airport Extreme cards are a standard Airport Extreme card, the same as in the Core Duo Macs. The Core 2 Duo macs use a different airport extreme card. The wireless sniffer KisMAC notes this hardware difference, when they discuss why the level of support currently in KisMAC is different for the new Core 2 Duo Macs then core the Core Duos.Now the backwards compatibility and swapability of these cards with the older design (the design of all the after-market Airport Extreme cards) is, to the best of my knowledge, unknown.
